How to improve interview skill?

10•gogo61•8mo ago
I am extremely good at my work and always get great ratings. However, my interviewing skills are extremely poor. I can't express my stories during the interview. I also tend to be in a hurry. Any resources to improve it?

I feel I need improvement on following things

- Storytelling - Tonality - Pacing - Keeping excitement

Comments

Did uou try ChatGPT to help you with the areas of improvement you have identified? You need to tailor and change it’s responses with your own words and tone.
gogo61•8mo ago
Honestly, it doesn't give any honest feedback or even my area of improvement. As per ChatGPT, I am always doing good.
omosubi•8mo ago
what prompt are you using?
skeptrune•8mo ago
Try making youtube videos talking about your side projects. Comes with built-in KPIs via view count and retention.

How does it help?
dcminter•8mo ago
It allows you to practice presenting yourself, which is an important part of interviewing.

Having prepared material in circumstances under your control is also likely to make it easier for you to talk about it in more stressful circumstances.

gogo61•8mo ago
Okay. Yeah, i read one more resource where speaker asked to create a daily video of 3 minutes.

Practice.

You've done some interviews. You know what questions the ask. Write them on some flashcards. Pick a random card from time to time, and answer it.

This helps in 2 ways. Firstly you'll be better prepared for common questions. Secondly the process of figuring out how best to answer that question will help you figure out other questions faster.

Try not to sound rehersed. The goal is not to write a script. The goal is to listen, consider, respond. Remember you don't have to respond immediately. You can take a beat to consider your answer. (Take a sip of water, comment that the question is interesting, or that it's not been asked before etc.)

Sometimes deliberating and answer is just as interesting as the answer. Remember the question is just there to prompt you to talk about yourself.

Avoid "bullshit" answers. Like 'my biggest flaw is I work too hard.' Asking for flaws is a test of self-awareness. A better answer is '"I struggle with time management. I often used to work late because I couldn't leave the task unfinished. Now I understand that I was correcting that work the next day anyway, so I now end the day at a fixed time. Maybe a couple times a year I break that rule, because of a special time-sensitive thing, like a conference, but its a couple times a year, not every week."

It's a better answer because it tells them about you, tells them you're self-aware, and also sets a boundary. And it's not just a platitude you think they want to hear.

But practice. Get so you can answer and still be relaxed. Yes, you're nervous in thd interview, but being relaxed, and prepared, always improves your chances.

And remember, there are a lot of folk on the market right now, so don't be too hard on yourself. You're gonna get some rejections even after good interviews.

Good luck.

Thank you, Bruce. I will follow this advice.

Easy answer is Toastmasters. It helped me a LOT, especially with interviewing.

https://www.toastmasters.org/

Look at what local clubs, i prefer in person although a lot are doing zoom based.

Attend different groups to see which one you work best with.

A large group is great for networking, but you might have trouble getting enough opportunity to speak.

Small groups are great for having opportunity to speak, but lacking bodies strains their ability to provide oversight.
